Orchestra
Sound spaces to last: That is probably the most precise way to describe the effect that Peter Androsch achieved with a good sense of humour and loose instrumentation of the RSO-orchestra in his “reperta for three singers and orchestra”. New acoustic “findings” become surprising, and ironic sound experiments.
